"hey man, just wanted to let you know i went to a track yesterday full of different types of corners and applied some of the cornering tips. (especially the brake slide) after just one hour of working on it i cut 4 seconds a lap. sweet.... i found that with the brake slide keeping the rpms up helped me bolt out of the turn. thought you'd like to hear about it. thanx thad. RAIL IT..........."

Hey Steve, a mate and I were out today for 4 hours and I was using the positioning techniques as per the video and it saved my bacon quite a few times. I am finding that after two months of riding dirt at least 3 times a week that my speed is really coming up and subsequently so is the arm pump LOL. Also I am forcing myself to look up and out (really hard to do even though its second nature in a car or on a road bike) and it is helping a lot with my riding particularly in sand. Today we went up a 50 degree hill that was covered in more sharp rocks than I have ever seen, I came close to flipping but in the end it went ok, hell I am even getting some wheelie action over small whoops and stutters. Another thing is interesting, although I am going faster than before, I am managing to keep myself on two wheels in places that just a week or two ago I would have gone arse up. I am looking forward to the cornering section as that is one of my real weaknesses (my confidence is the biggest issue). Also I have realised that smooth works heaps better than just a fistful of throttle. I feel like a kid again when I ride. Full roost mate!!! Regards, Mark Thomas. Australia

Steve, "The visualization document is unlocked and I read it. It seems to be very helpful. I'm looking forward to the rest of the program. Thanks for everything."

Kevin Welch

hi steve, your website is oustanding, i have been a member for about 2 months now and my son and i have already learned so much. we go over your techniques together and practice much more .

Aubrie And Carl Williams

”The weeks leading up to the race Aubrie had almost no time on the bike, because of school and swim practice. But she did watch every training video over and over almost every night. She attributes all of this riding success to your clinic and The Steve Hatch Racing web site! As I have said before we love what you and Denise are doing, the web site is nothing short of awesome!” Carl and Aubrie Williams

Steve Larkin

"I think that this is great, how you keep this program personal, and how fast you answer my questions. I'm going to let the word out about how good this program is turning out to be." Keep up the great work. Thanks again Steve Larkin

Bret Stenhouse

"Hey Steve, just touching base. I just watched the cornering video and wanting to pass on that I thought that one was the BEST YET! There was alot of "meat". I especially liked the video of you cornering the "wrong way" and the tip about creating a practice oval. I think this is an area I have overlooked in my practice and that I tend to set to far back without my butt off the seat."

Robert Miller

"It's awesome!!!!! I have improved a lot."

Vern Gamble

WOW Steve! Great, more than I expected. Thanks Vern

Gary A.

"Great Website! This is definitely the best thing going to teach me and others better riding techniques. I have been a member of your site for 7 weeks and my riding skill (C )? has been improving as I have been practicing during the week."

Toby Atkins

Riding has been going well and training too. I have read and applied your techniques from your website. It has helped me a bunch. I won a race here in MO last Sunday and it felt good. I went against the best riders in the state and my training showed.

Tom Cichon-PA

Steve I recieved your race pack. Thank you for sending it. I have been checking your site and it's been helping me, not getting much riding in over the winter made me a little rusty. Although I'm 54 and been riding for years it's good to see your videos and to read the articles it"s been a big help. Thanks, Tom

Herb Dimler

Leighton and I have drastically changed the way we practice now. Thanks again, Herb

NEW DVD's-fun To Meet Guys From CO!

Hey Steve, This is Wyatt. We will for sure get those DVD's! Looks like they are pretty awesome. I can't say how honored I was to meet you at GS. It was like a dream come true. I just kept thinking when I was riding,"Hey, Steve Hatch told me to take this line." Then, I would try it and it was crazy how much faster I could go through it and how much less energy it would take. Even though maybe it didn't seem like I was listening, I sure was. Again, thanks for everything and meeting you was definitely the highlight of the trip. Hope to see you soon up here for the class! WC and TC 118 + 117

J. From CA-New DVD's

Hi Steve , yes, we did receive the 4 DVDs in the mail. They were my birthday gift to him and he seems to enjoy them very much. He didn't nod off once watching your DVDs ! I mention this, because I noticed he falls asleep quite readily to the Gary Semics DVDs I gave him for x-mas. I think you have a very lively delivery and this makes your DVDs fun to watch, even for me and I don't ride dirt bikes . You are an impressive rider and a good teacher. Thanks for checking in, J.

Steve, "I really dig your teaching style and you offer a lot of knowledge from experience. I'm a new rider so these videos will be very helpful !" Thx, Mark

Brent Stedmyer

I was extemely impressed with the Stevehatchracing videos. They are just like having Steve with you, again and again and again. I pick up additional technique every time I watch the clips. They are precise, easy to understand and making a huge difference in my riding.

Kailub Russell

So how different are things now that you’re working with Steve Hatch? "Basically it takes all the guess work out of it. He sends me emails and tells me what to do, and I know as long as I follow that plan, I’ll be on my game. Me and Steve working together has made a huge difference. My confidence is higher, and I know a lot more about focusing for a race." Kailub won his first Pro race in the XC 2 class at the KY GNCC!

Eric Bailey

"Over 10 years of training and racing and I hit my peak potential so I thought. Steve has changed my way of thinking, my way of racing, and my way of life. Steve has taught me how to overcome my challenges in all aspects of life in order to be the best in all areas not just racing." -Eric Bailey

Susan Soule\'

Steve, Thanks a lot for everything. Justin came home so full of new knowledge from you and your wife. He really loved the yoga. Thank you also for the riding jersey and the picture. Please tell your daughter she took some really good pictures. Justin’s confidence level is at an all time high, I know we are going to see some great things for him in the future. Take care and thank you for everything. Susan Soule'

Cindy Davis

"First I wanted to say, Thank you so much for being you. I've watched you at the clinic you had on our property and then again at IDR's race. No matter if you are headed for ...(whatever) if someone stops to, talk, shake your hand, ask a question, or just to tell you their stories, you have (or take) the time to make each and everyone feel special. That is a great quality to have, in todays world we don't find much of that."

Shane Davis

Hi, its Shane Davis, I just wanted to thank you for teaching me so much at the clinic at Cortland NY after learning every thing I did there I went out and applied it to the race track and found that it really dose work. It is great to know all those little secrets about being faster. I rode this last race trying not to dab and keeping my form, elbows up, and visualizing the win. In doing all of this at the last race I some how got a win for the first time. It also could have partly been because I had 2 new tires on my bike. Kyle took first as usual but that's after coming from behind because he endued into an unmarked large hole and getting road rash from the gravel driveway he went over. he then took first in schoolboy right after the mini race. Thanks a TON!!!

SHR Riding Clinic-Brett Craig

Wannabe Racing07-13-2005, 07:06 PM I took two different classes and went from a ok at best B rider to 6th in the AA class within two years and that was with a big crash and not being able to race the last three races. I would highly recommend the class and he is a great teacher

3 Day Private Clinic In AZ-Thor Kissman

Spent three days with Steve Hatch - Off-road Racing Clinic. My three days experience with Steve Hatch was absolutely phenomenal! I originally sought out Steve when I decided to push my racing performance up a few notches.

Darren Spicer-Private Lesson

Hi Steve, Thanks for getting back to me. I set the brakes to your specs and ...suprise...better control. My turns and the feel of the bike are improving. I couldn't believe how much more control of the bike I had when I applied weight and squeezed with outside leg like you told me to. Thanks again.

Marc Reynolds

Steve, I just wanted to share with you that I took 1st out of 16 in the Senior B class in the Berthoud HS! It was easily my best race. First time I won any class there! I was only able to practice for about 2 hrs Sat before the race since I got back from AZ, 90% of the time was doing drills we did and then applied them to a couple laps on the course. Mentally I have been racing a lot though. I mostly focused on getting up on the tank, elbows up and pinching the bike on the straits.... I struggled with my form the last 30 min or so but couldnt belive how much faster I was the other 75%.... I almost felt I was cheating!!

Justin Soule\'

I finished 2nd place. This also moves me up to 2nd in the series. I had so much fun at this race. Great sand washes, steep up hills and down hill. The racing terrain was awesome, very similar to what I practice at home. It was a 3.5 hour race on 16 miles of whoops and square edges. My bike ran perfect, my hard training has really paid off with Steve Hatch. The last hour was grueling but I still felt good at the end of the race. Every race I learn and try to improve on something. This race was no different. I went out with the attitude of having fun and to relax. It worked, I had an excellent finish, didn’t get arm pump and had fun. My next race is WORCS Round 4 in Washington April 11-13th. Thank you very much for everything. God bless, Justin Soule’

Ken Hughes

Steve, First, I just wanted to say thanks for coming on board as one of my close friend's son's trainer and coach. Over the last almost year, I've seen Kale really come into his own - from a smooth "quick" rider to a smooth aggressive "fast" rider - all while operating within his means. Kudos also to you in your approach with the training. I listened as you taught Kale with true intent to educate in a manor few teachers at your level have. Great job!

Marc Reynolds

Hey Steve, "Wanted let you know I won the overall Sen A in the Weberacing HS series! Im still working on all the different things we went over when I was down there this spring and continue to improve."

Ryan West

"Steve i was at one of you riding clinics at knobby acres it helped me so much it took me a few races but i went on to win the year on my 450 and our president told me that i was going on to open A and i wanted to thank you so much one day i hope to be as good as u and rodney and i am going after my dream of being pro if it wasnt for you i would never have done it and i really want to train with you well thank you so much your the man"

Kailub Russell

This week will definitely go down as one of the biggest so far in my life. I graduated high school, which will let me now focus 100% of my time on my racing. For the past two years I’ve been going to real school, not homeschool, and we all know what a significant chunk of time school and homework can take out of your day. On top of graduation, I had probably the biggest achievement of my racing career so far—winning the XC2 Pro Lites class at the Sparta, KY GNCC! The start of the race for me was pretty lousy. I didn’t get a very good jump and was mid-pack heading into the woods. With a few miles of virgin trail ahead of me I knew it was going to be tough to work my way through the very fast XC2 pack. By the end of the first lap, I had moved my way into 4th but was nearly a minute behind the leader, Dustin Gibson. I hooked up with my buddy Andrew Matusek and we rode together for a couple of laps. I was feeling really smooth, and not pushing too hard. I made my way around Andrew and got the pit board from my mechanic Hollywood telling me I was 40 seconds down. I kept riding well and the next lap I was 42 seconds down! At that point I wasn’t too sure if it was going to be my day! Somehow though, I slowly began to start reeling Dustin in, and was able to get past him. With 2 laps to go I really put my head down and charged. I rode my fastest lap on lap 5, and my 2nd fastest lap on the last lap (lap 6). I think this is a great testament to the training program that Steve Hatch has created for me. Mentally I felt really tough, and once I was in the lead I knew that the race was mine to win. As I rounded the final few turns before the finish, I finally took a look back and realized I was all by myself. My last lap charge was too much for Dustin and I ended up winning by 1 minute and 2 seconds. What an awesome feeling!

Ron Dillon

“Thanks Steve. You have been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to meeting you. As a guy who has been involved in events for nearly 30 years, I always let guys like yourself who earn an “A” know about it, and you get an A+. You have been responsive, and I very much appreciate that. Anyway, thank you for being a professional, stand-up guy, (you have that kind of reputation in the industry, but I’m sure that you know that already).” Ron Dillon

Toby Atkins-MO

"Steve I have to say that you are the best trainer I have been trained with. You gave me some new idees. And your whole layout of training was good." Best Regards Vanja Kollmann-Sweden

Toby Atkins-did A 2 Day Clinic In AR-

Steve: Hey there! I wanted to write you and give you some updates. I have been practicing the drills that you showed me and everyday that I ride I notice improvement in handling and my form. I have a long way to go still but I am noticing improvement. Thank You! Also the opening round of the Missouri State Hare scramble series was yesterday and I started of the season with a win! I could tell the drills have been working. I felt much more confident with my corners and braking. The report is on my web site(tobyatkins.net) and it will tell you everything about the race if you want to check it out. Also I have been selected for the Husqvarna Factory Rider for a Day! I will be racing Round 4 at Union, SC. Just figured you would be excited to know how your teaching is working. It is OK if you want to put any of this on your web site. The press release should be out soon about the Husqvarna deal. Thanks Steve for your help, your teaching is working and thanks for all your help. #24 Toby Atkins

A Happy Father

"Steve, A group of us went to Kirby, Ar to ride today, it was nice to see Evan and Brad stretching before the ride. I don't think I have seen either of them do it before. Seems they both were following your advice. Whenever they would stop on the trail, they would talk about different things they had learned from you and how they were applying it to there riding. They were both more interested in riding in control than just barreling down the trail as fast as they could. (thanks to you). When they went out for the last lap of the day they picked up the pace and came in ahead of most everyone else. They are both still improving and applying what they learned." Thanks again, Cliff

David Cretsinger-NH

"Amazing experience! The Chisled into a Champion program brought my riding to the next level. Between the hours of guided practice and invaluable tips and instruction, I had my best finish ever at my very next race. I learned more in one week than I would have learned in several seasons of riding on my own (and many things I probably never would have learned). Thanks Steve -- looking forward to doing this again!"

Justin Soule\'-Nutrition

"I was never a believer in how nutrition played a role in performance, that was until I tried Denise Hatch's nutrition program for about two weeks. Instant energy, clear mind, recovering faster....just feeling good all around, it's the only way I want to eat from now on." Justin Soule'-Factory KTM Off-Road (WORCS)

Ryan Sipes

"The only significant change that I’ve made to my program is that I am working with Steve Hatch on the mental side of things. Steve and his wife Denise are really helping me out a ton, so I want to thank them for that. The mental game is the one thing that I truly have not mastered yet, and they are helping me out a lot with that." Ryan Sipes

Kyle Summers-WORCS Round #1

So here we are in 2009, once again back at round one of the WORCS calendar and Summers is 100% ready to make a statement. His bikes are looking super factory, his confidence is there as result of his recent training with Steve Hatch, and the enormous amount of professionalism that is the foundation of Valli Motorsports is completely behind him. Chad Lanza and Charles Halcomb introduced the Valli Motorsports WORCS team, which consist of 2008 WORCS Champion Bobby Bonds, Kyle Summers, and Bobby Garrison, shortly after the conclusion of the '08 calendar

Nathan Kanney

I have a really good program with Steve Hatch, so every time I train, I see the progress, and I feel it. To me, the more time I have to prepare, the better, because it seems like every time I get on the bike with Steve I get better. "Since I've been with Steve Hatch and his Steve Hatch Racing Training Program, there's no such thing as guess work. Everything I do know has a purpose and a goal, and that goal has me winning races for the first time in my pro career."

Tayor Robert

I have known Steve and Denise since I was 8 years old. They are great people, always willing to help. I have been on the Steve Hatch Training program for the last 3 years. I have noticed huge improvement in my riding, racing, preparation and everything that goes into being a motorcycle racer. Since I started training with Steve, I have gone from being the average A class rider in WORCS to now having a factory Kawasaki ride and leading the series in the pro 2 class. The knowledge that Steve and Denise have on every aspect of racing is just unbelievable and will help anyone from beginner to full pro.
